Establishing a rainwater harvesting pond for “Ferzol farmers”
?Establishing a rainwater harvesting pond for ?Ferzol farmers?.
This project aims for establishing a rainwater harvesting pond in the village of ?Ferzol? for irrigation and against water scarcity. and t. 2. Increase the green spaces in the town.
The pond area is approximately 900 m2. Diameter of 25 m and a depth of 8m and contains approximately 11,000 m3 of water. This amount of water is enough to irrigate almost 2500 tree/year, help farmers to secure their livelihoods and their continuity and assist in increasing productivity and activation of the economic cycle in the villages.
Before and after the completion of the pond, farmers will be trained on how to use water and to encourage them to drip irrigation to provide the largest possible amount of water. This pond will help in controlling erosion and reduce the use of water wells.
